TIERS friends when they learned OF her en-
gagement to young man who bore the

risk. In nine cases out OF ten it would have
proved q mistake; but Esther was an mn.

Fred made a model husband. How was
it? Well, Esther had q cheerful, sunny

enjoyed perfect health and was always SO
sweet, neat and wholesome that Fred found
his home most pleasant, and his own wife
more agreeable. than any other being. As
the year passed and he saw other women
OF Esther's are grow sickly, faded and

The tercentenary of the introduce
ton of modern shorthand has just
been celebrated in London by an in
ternational congress of shorthand
writer's. WHAT'S called modern short
hand originated with Timothy Bright,
an M. D. Of Cambridge, practicing in
London, and subsequently rector of a
parish to which he was presented by
Queen Elizabeth. 1t 1886 he published
St. Paul's Epistle to Titus in his system
of shorthand, and year later he pub
lished the system itself. It 1889
"Mistress Jane Seager, Virgin" pub
lished volume Of ten poems, called
"The Prophecies of the -Sibylls," in
Bright's system, and dedicated it to
"The Virgin Queen, Elizabeth" So
far as is known these are the first
books ever published in any system of
shorthand. There are now $50 differ
emit systems in existence. This year
is also the jubilee of the introduction
in 1887 of the system of Isaac Pitman,
which flrss popularized shorthand, and
the congress celebrated that event.

the congress, and the lord mayor had

which every steamboatman had the
most implicit faith. A gray horse on
board the boat made all the hands
